My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 228 Echoes of History

The first round of the Premier League ended on August 8.

Mourinho's Chelsea team defeated Hull City calmly [-]-[-]. The "Madman" who regained control of the Blues kicked off his return season with a victory.

Chelsea managed [-] shots at Stamford Bridge, while Hull City managed just six.

This was an open game, with Chelsea and Hull City almost evenly matched in terms of ball possession, [-]% to [-]%, but Chelsea seized the opportunity.

Lampard and Oscar each scored a goal to help Chelsea seal the victory.

After Mourinho returned to the Blue Bridge from Real Madrid, he faced a team with chaotic morale and obvious shortcomings.

"I don't expect to win the championship in the first season, but that doesn't mean we can't win the championship - and I'm sure my team is improving. Even if we don't win the championship this season, we will win it next season. To the championship.”

Mourinho is no less sharp and arrogant now than when he left Stamford Bridge five years ago.

"I don't need to adapt, I'm familiar with England. A lot of people don't like me, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I'm back."

"Jose Mourinho doesn't seem to need to adapt too much to the Premier League. He came back, he saw it, and he began to conquer." "Mirror" commented after the game.

Sir Alex Ferguson was still in the dugout as Manchester United beat Swansea [-]-[-] away from home.

Everyone knows that this season is really Ferguson's last season.

It would be a shame for Ferguson to end a long and glorious career with two consecutive home runs. He would not tolerate a sighing ending to his career.

Cesc Fabregas came on the bench for United and came on in the [-]th minute, delivering a superb through ball that set up Robin van Persie for United's fourth goal.

"Sir Alex Ferguson's majesty continues to inspire United, with Cesc Fabregas looking the perfect replacement and upgrade to Paul Scholes, who now has a more balanced squad than last season and Manchester United's [-]th in the Premier League He is bound to win the championship." "Daily Mail" commented after the game.

Three of the four teams considered most likely to compete for the Premier League title this season scored all three points. Only Arsenal drew with Villa [-]-[-] and only scored one point.

"At the Emirates Stadium, the voices of Gunners fans calling for money were resounding... The fans saw hope from the team's performance last season, and they could not accept that the club missed a great opportunity and wasted the hard-earned foundation."

"The Guardian" commented, "If Arsenal cannot maintain strong competitiveness this season, this group of outstanding players coach Chen Yao has discovered and trained: Griezmann, Jorginho, Carvajal, Zaha..., They are about to enter the middle of the contract next season, and Arsenal may have to face the dilemma of stars being poached by wealthy clubs. If this goes on, the Gunners' revival will be far away."

……

one point.

Under the blue sky, the system interface appeared in front of Chen Yao's eyes.

Chen Yao looked at the Premier League standings and saw that his team had scored one point.

He moved his eyes to the other side. On the system interface, he also had a point.

After triggering the [Miracle Challenge], some new functions were also opened to him by the system.

What puzzled him the most was the function that required points to unlock: [Echoes of History].

Until he plays his first game of the season, the interface is gray and cannot be triggered.

After the first round of competition, the system suddenly reminded him that he had gained points and could turn on the module.

"It turns out that the points required to open the module are linked to the Premier League points one to one..."

Chen Yao couldn't help but have a headache. He was tortured by this challenge. He originally had the idea of ​​giving up the league and going all out to hit the Champions League.

But relying on Arsenal's current strength to complete the great cause of conquering Europe is tantamount to wishful thinking.

Therefore, he needs to rely on the new modules opened by the system to find ways to quickly stimulate the potential of the players in his hands.

However, to activate this new module, you need points, and the points come from the league...

Therefore, he must fight for every victory in the league.

This season, Arsenal must move forward on all fronts.

Chen Yao didn't know what benefits [Echoes of History] would bring him, but he had no other choice. The only thing that could help him improve his strength in an unimaginable way was the system.

"We can only unlock it and take a look."

Chen Yao looked around. The Kearney base looked familiar, with players training on the field.

The technical and tactical training in charge of Lillo and Bergkamp had just ended, and Antonio Pintus approached the players with a smirk, ready to start his physical training.

Arteta, Rosicky and Sagna, the three oldest veterans in the team, gathered together and walked to the training ground while discussing the problem.

"We need to take responsibility, there are a lot of young people in the team. Young people will always make mistakes."

"Mikel, you are right. We all came from a young age."

"Last season, the boys' mentality had a lot of problems. This affected the performance on the field."

"We're not doing enough."

"Oh, I wish I could stay healthy, I can't help much in a hospital bed."

"Thomas, have some confidence in your body..." 　　　…

Business as usual.

Chen Yao took a few steps into the distance and activated [Echoes of History] with his mind.

The surroundings suddenly became dark.

Chen Yao looked up and saw the sun moving rapidly in the sky and setting in the blink of an eye.

Then the stars and the moon appeared and the sky turned into night.

The sun came out again, and the speed was like turning on the fast forward button.

Then it was day, night, day, night...

Time passed faster and faster, and the shadows of the trees grew longer, shorter, and disappeared around Chen Yao.

How is this going?

Chen Yao was so frightened that he couldn't even scream. He tried to stay calm and observed the environment.

No, the sky changes in different ways.

First comes dawn, then night, then dusk.

Then day, noon, dawn, night, dusk...

The sun rises in the west and sets in the east...

Is time turning back?

The speed of light and shadow changes is getting faster and faster. Chen Yao feels that the temperature throughout the year is also changing, and the length of the grass on the ground is also changing. He doesn't even know from which moment the Kearney base turned into a construction site, and then changed again. It became a wasteland...

He felt cold and heat, rain and sunshine, but time passed so quickly that these sensory contacts lasted only a brief moment.

Chen Yao simply closed his eyes and lay on the ground, waiting for the strange changes to stop.

I don’t know how long it took, but time finally slowed down.

Even with his eyes closed, Chen Yao could feel that the light and dark changes were getting slower and slower. The sounds he heard in his ears became normal, unlike in the past period, when all the sounds were Doppler-like. effect.

A burst of rapid hoofbeats passed by his ears, followed by a panicked shout.

"Where did the homeless guy come from? Get out of the way, damn it!"

Chen Yao felt himself being pulled to the side of the road by several arms. He opened his eyes, and the scene around him took his breath away.

It's an afternoon.

Sunlight shines through the gaps in the building, outlining three-dimensional and scattered shadows on both sides of the street.

The carriage clattered away, its wheels making a rumble as it ran over the cobblestones.

The shop windows along the street display the taste of the Victorian era, and exquisite iron decorations decorate each store.

Gentlemen wore slim tuxedos and walked through the streets holding canes, while ladies' feathered hats and fluffy skirts fluttered gently in the afternoon wind.

The sound of hawking came from the alleys, and sailors gathered in the corner tavern with laughter, sharing the legendary stories of the port.

The air was full of noise. Chen Yao looked around dizzily and could vaguely hear some words he was familiar with.

"Have you heard? The Old Etonians are in for a joke."

"Stop being so pretentious, what happened?"

"The Darwen team drew with the Old Etonians. I have never seen anything like this. A group of squires from the Football Association were forced to flee by the lowly workers in the textile factory..."

"Darwen won in the end? Oh, if Old Etonians hadn't reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, would anyone be watching this cup?"

"No, Darwen didn't win and they asked for extra time but the Old Etonians refused outright. They will play again next week."

"Is there such a tradition? It's so shameful..."

"Brother, the players from the Old Etonians are all members of the Football Association. Whatever they say is tradition."

"Let them play football..."

Chen Yao grabbed the two British people who were chatting and asked: "Gentlemen, can you tell me what year it is now?"

"You look bad, brother, and your clothes look weird too." The man said, "You were almost hit by a carriage just now. Are you a homeless man? Three people over there pulled you to the side of the road. You should thank them. But their clothes are weird too."

"I just want to know what year it is."

"You're a strange man. It's 1879 and this is England."
